Over the next two days, the NBA and NHL will welcome in the next generation of prospects. When you're taken first, you're expected to be a game-changer. Here are 15 players who lived up to the hype.
Jeter insists age is just a number -- and he doesn't pay much attention to those. "I figure I probably shouldn't start now," he said Wednesday, on the eve of the big Four-Oh.
Mark Teixeira hit a two-run home run, Hiroki Kuroda won for the first time in four starts and the New York Yankees beat the Toronto Blue Jays 5-3 on Wednesday night, snapping their losing streak at four games.
New York Yankees outfielder Carlos Beltran has shut down his throwing program after feeling tightness in his right forearm following a session.
New York manager Joe Girardi wasn't promising any money back, but acknowledged that his team's defense was a problem again Tuesday in Toronto.
Jose Reyes atoned for a pair of misplays by hitting a leadoff double in the ninth inning and scoring when Yankees third baseman Yangervis Solarte threw away a bunt, lifting the Toronto Blue Jays over New York 7-6 Tuesday night.
A host of Yankees scouts were on hand to watch the three-time All-Star's start against Houston last week.
Sabathia says he had "no issues" during his 34-pitch outing Tuesday at the Yankees' minor-league complex. He's scheduled to pitch in a rookie-level Gulf Coast League game on Saturday.
Masahiro Tanaka may be the best pitcher in baseball. He's certainly worthy of starting the All-Star Game for the American League on July 15. But will he?
Craig Carton, who dropped a pop-up that nearly cost Team Boomer the game, told Chris Christie that third base "was a little hot for you to handle." The governor wouldn't have it.
Matched up against the Blue Jays for the second time in a week, Chase Whitley had the worst start of his short career.
Adam Lind hit a three-run home run in his return to the starting lineup, rookie Marcus Stroman won for the first time in three starts and the Toronto Blue Jays beat New York 8-3 on Monday night, handing the Yankees their third straight loss.
He caught the ball to make a crucial out at third base in the seventh inning with the bases loaded. His team eked out a 7-6 win.
Steve Pearce insists there was nothing wrong with his slide into Yankees third baseman Kelly Johnson. New York manager Joe Girardi would disagree.
CC Sabathia is going south, to Tampa, that is. That's good news for the Yanks because the trip represents a major step forward in getting off the DL.
